I too had a dream, dream to pursue MBA, Well I am an Engineer working in IT but this is the last thing I wanted to do in my life but fate brought me here. Last 2 years, when I worked in IT industry, were worst yet more crucial years of my life. The infinite lessons, experiences which I gained, being away from family & friends, helped me to understand & introspect myself. In nutshell this journey changed me, brought me closer to my dreams, made me a better person.

When you enter in IT field, you have two options either to go with the flow & absorb yourself in code or don’t give a shit about it. I decided to be in later category.

I made a target I will leave IT industry in 2015 & will go for MBA, come what may.

Small drops make a big ocean, I started studying, I started making targets, setting small yet achievable goals for myself. I made a resolution to be regular & punctual, 2 hours a days was the commitment.

With every small goal achieved, I used to appreciate my hard work, used to appreciate my efforts. It entirely depends on your attitude, & I knew it is going to determine my aptitude, so I used to be conscious of it. I used to keep positive vibes around me. I used to feel the happiness ,proud by doing a tough sum of Arun Sharma or by working on difficult RC.

I started realizing that you don’t need to be intelligent, only thing is you need to do things differently with love, pinch of hard work & lots of determination. Good results will follow automatically…..

This journey taught me its not the goal that we cherish, its the journey that makes it beautiful, worthwhile at the end. It is the road which you choose for yourself that matters.
